As the 2023-24 football season nears its conclusion, several prominent European clubs are already in the process of selecting new managers. The managerial landscape has seen notable shifts, with high-profile figures like Jurgen Klopp of Liverpool and Xavi of Barcelona announcing their departures at the season's end.
Additionally, Thomas Tuchel of Bayern Munich disclosed his impending departure in June. Meanwhile, AS Roma and Lazio have undergone managerial changes, with Daniele De Rossi taking over from Jose Mourinho at Roma and Igor Tudor succeeding Maurizio Sarri at Lazio, who resigned on March 12.
